Abstract
A detector includes an outer shell having a shell profile in which a welded portion of the shell profile extends as an annular flange in an outward direction relative to a center axis of the outer shell. The detector further includes an end cap positioned adjacent the welded portion of the outer shell. The end cap and the welded portion of the outer shell are welded together to form a seal. A method of making a detector is also provided.
